2019 年雅思考试阅读理解提分训练试题及答案（三篇）

To begin with,"muzak"( 音乐广播网)was intended simply

to create a soothing( 安慰)atmosphere.Recently,however,it's

become big business —thanks in part to recent

research.Dr.Ronald Milliman,an American marketing expert,has

shown that music can boost sales or increase factory

production by as much as a third.

But,it has to be light music.A fast one has no effect at

all on sales.Slow music can increase receipts by 38%.This is

probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity

to spot items they like to buy.Yet,slow music isn't always

liman found,for example,that in restaurants slow

music meant customers took longer to eat their meals,which

reduced overall sales.So restaurants owners might be well

advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving —

unless of course,the resulting indigestion leads to

complaints!

In the earliest stages of man's development he had no

more need of money than animals have.He was content with very

simple forms of shelter,made his own rough tools and weapons

and could provide food and clothing for himself and his

family from natural materials around him.As he became more

civilized,however,he began to want better shelter,more

efficient tools and weapons,and more comfortable and more

lasting clothing than could be provided by his own

neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands.For

these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as

smiths,leather workers or carpenters.It was then that the

question of payment arose.

At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of

exchange.The smith who had not the time to look after land or

cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in

exchange for an axe or a plough.But as more and more goods

which had no fixed exchange value came on the market,exchange

became too complicated to be satisfactory.Another problem

arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood
